A few May showers would be welcomed just now. The fields j look fine and with a break in the; ■weather, the farmers may anticipate 1 an excellent crop in this section. Those who think the primary ballot may be confusing should ; look over a sample and note down those they wish to vote for. That | will make it an easy task to cast' your ballot and do it intelligently. Dillinger and his gang slapped a couple of Chicago policemen, took their guns away from them, told them to reach the sky and marched them across the field. So all the ■ hick policemen'' don't live in the “sticks.” The printing of the primary ballots will be finished tonight. It has been a tough job for every body connected with it, including the commissioners, C. J. Lutz and Walter Johnson, who have stuck to it faithfully and checked each name and each change in the alternating. The clean-up goes merrily on, and the city is already looking much better. Each spring we are surprised at how much rubbish has gathered, but a few hours clears it away. Don't let the week pass without doing your part along this line. A Gary woman slipped while tak ing a 'bath and plunged through an open window, alighting on a sand pile three stories below. She was unhurt and wc presume the moral is to always have a sand pile beneath the bath window or shut the gate. Sunday. May 13th is Mother's Day, an occasion for paying respects to those who have "rocked the cradle” and done many other things to make us all love them and respect them. Don't be afraid you will overdo this event for that just can't be done. The mothers deserve more than they get always. Just why May day should be the one used in various parts of the world ft> des'roy buildings, shoot off tombs and otherwise show a disapproval of things in general, we never have understood. Seems as though any other day than this one, set apart as for merry-making, would fit such acts better, but there is no way of convincing a “red” that he ought to be any other color. Reports arc that the wheat crop In the northwest —and that’s where they really grow this cereal —will be greatly reduced this year because of the terrific sand storms of the past several weeks.. That with the acreage reduction all over the country should dispose of any surplus and fix a wheat price that will make it a profitable crop for several years to come. It will be a happy day when regulations of the

kind now used arc no longer necessary. If the reports from Michigan City are true and of course they are or Wayne Coy wouldn't have so reported them, surely Its time for action that will convince every one that the “monkey-business’ - about that institution must cease. Many stories have no doubt been exaggerated In connection with the escapades at the state prison, but there seems to he enough wrong to require some '.'ery'decided changes in the rules, even though some of them seem to have been in use for years. The report of a recent middlewestern traffic accident told how a touring car carrying five people “crashed into a truck loaded with nineteen tons of steel" at a rural cross-roads. While it happens that in this particular case the truck driver was not at fault, the item leads one to wonder what on earth a truck with such an enormous cargo was doing on a public highway in the first place. A nineteenton load is a pretty good sized morsel to inject into one daily stream of automobile traffic. It takes up more space than a cross-country motor vehicle ought to have —this ; truck, by the way, was traveling 1 from Cleveland to Detroit — it moves with deadly momentum, and !it puts an abnormal strain on * a highway built and maintained with irnblic funds. It is foolish, of course. , to talk of taking all freight traffic | away from the trucks and giving lit back to the railroads. But a load • of such bulk would certainly seem to be a load for the freight train, not for the motor truck.—Hartford < City News. TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File < ♦ • May 2—A.

all inmates who are trusties and who are outside of the prison walls to perform the tasks assigned to them." the governor explained. "It should be clearly understood that the gates referred to are the gates to the prison yard and not the gates to the prison proper. "To clerify further the situation relative to the trusties at the prison, 1 wish to state that those who are placed on Ihe prison farms are not under guard. They are men who have been selected because they have been found trustworthy and only in rare instances do these men violate the trust placed in them. "They are assigned to the various farms where they work, eat and sleep. The farmer, a civilian, superintends their work and one of their own men is clerk, keeping track of all the men. At certain seasons of the year there are as many as 50 men in the barracks on a farm.”
